I can't really help too much. I just looked it up in an old Ace catalog. 96"; 1300 sq in; 17 1/2lbs+; 2.6ci and up; Ace's retail price was $189.95 if that helps you establish a fair value for it.

I had the 87" version back in the day. It flew great....although it's not the bigger one like you're talking about.

I had a B&B G-62 in mine.. and it pulled it straight up out of sight. It also pulled the tail feathers clean off of the plane once @ an airshow. The glue joints held, the balsa center section of the stab actually split down the middle. When it was all said and done... My dad and I rebuilt the fuse, strengthened the tail braces, and put a new wing kit on it. Still flew wonderfully.

It finally met it's demise about 10 years ago.. broken aileron clevis fluttered it's way down from a knife edge pass at head level.
